This is not a very nice post, but Edinburgh police are looking for anyone who was at Murrayfield and who may have witnessed an alleged serious sexual assault on a young woman who had become separated from her friend.

Acording to Chris at the B.R. site, there is a production in progress of a DVD, called at present, The Story of ----the Boomtown Rats.

Bob may have read this already, as I sent a copy via Chris. I was hoping to say a few words of introduction at Glasgow about the inspiration and influence that Bob and others like him have had on the youngest members of our society and I think it is important that he realises this and knows that what he is doi...
Let me tell you about Bob in Glasgow. He was on top form. After a day of very motivational speakers, lots of hugging strangers, (some hunky young men - had a nice time), Bob was due on at 5.30 pm. He was of course running late as usual. At about 5.40, I was asked if I wanted my photo taken with him and I wo...

I spoke to Bob about this last night in Glasgow, and all the Rats know about it, so I think it is ok to put it here.

Well I've finally hit the 1500 posts (over that now) and I thought I was going to change into something greater than a Guru and into some god-like creature. No such luck!! Ah well a g uru I remain.
Check out page 10 in this weeks Radio Times. There are 3 smallish pictures of Bob talking to David Attenborough at the RT covers party. He has had his hair cut again. Looks like the short look is here to stay. I am still out on that one! Although very smart, he just does not look like Bob any more.

Peaches is included in Tatler's top ten best dressed women in the UK list. Well done. But so is Camilla, so I don't know what that says about it. Now we know why Bob is so smart these days. He is trying to keep up with her and get into the men's top 10!

I really don't understand how anyone can question Bob or Bono's sincerity or anything to do with their work for Africa. The personal time and effort they put in for this concern is beyond any question. So what if they both have a big ego? Maybe they need it to do what they've done. And what they've done is p...

So one day in study hall last week a friend of mine and I made an obscure reference to "I Don't Like Mondays" and laughed about it for a few minutes.
